The Violent American

We continue to see charts of American violence.
Americans watch video games, but in no case do we have a video game where there is glory in mass murder
in movie theaters, army stores, colleges, meet and greets for representatives, high schools, churches, or
elementary schools.
People so often look outside themselves to understand the violence they felt they needed to commit. Apparently, societies do the same.
If we are more violent than other developed nations  it's because we are neglecting growth and development in crucial areas of our group interactions.
But we can't compare the violent incidents of a nation of over 300 million persons to those of a nation of
of 20 million. If we are statistically worse, OK; but numbers of incidents per capita are misleading when
depicted as groups of tiny nations.
One important thing is that we can mathematically extrapolate how many of these incidents we can
expect to have added to our grieving before we can diffuse enough of them to be more free of them.
We are burning through first responders- but laying off police officers and fire fighters. So we aren't making
any sense?
We have the technology to sense weapons. In the meantime, we have to begin to limit guns. They are too quick a fix.
